APA Reference List: The Basics
As a Biology/Psychology double major, Mizuki will often use the American
Psychological Association (APA) style to cite sources in her papers. This style is
used for psychology, other social sciences, and some sciences.
APA style uses a reference list at the end of the paper to provide the full details of
the sources cited. Everything cited in the paper must appear in the reference list.
Look at the following APA citations from Mizuki's psychology paper on the effects
of media on body image and note the elements usually required when writing
complete citations.

the research process, You'll need it later when you write your paper.
